The difference is in the details

After a moment of reluctance I return bearing gifts of dapperness if there is such a word. Well if not we are allowed to make inventories.  I want to be so candid in this post.

One of the benefits of a two button blazer is the deep V shape created by the long lapels. However some of the  two buttoned blazers especially at more budget friendly tailors and retailers have a higher bbutton stancetwhich results in a similar look as a three button suit as  I have illustrated below

AMERICAN
Its the natural shoulder without a padding
It follows the slope of the body shoulder

choose the shoulder design complimenting your body

finally we compare a
